Yes, but did you run the software installer as Admin? For some reason PS CS5 has to be installed that way. I don't have the master collection but I assume you can right click on the installer .exe file. This will give the software all the permissions. 0xc are security permission level type hits.

Also turn off any anti-virus software and windows defender if on before install. Keep UAC running.

i'm having the same error with PS cs5 on windows 7..uninstalling reinstalling and running it as admin didn't help..install it on a diff pc and it worked...i have amd athlon xp processor..so maybe thats the problem...if so would it be a fix for this?

If you haven't already, run a Windows Update and do a search for additional software. There may be one or two AMD-specific patches you need to install. Shouldn't be as critical as in the past, but may still be a good place to start. also consider installing additional stuff as .NET runtimes. Since this replaces certain DLLs on a system level, it often may fix conflicts you are not aware of. Of course also check your hardware via device manager and your BIOS. Random crashes can sometimes be attributed to misconfigured SATA setups or some USB device being wrongly initialized...

i made a mistake..my processor is a amd sempron 3000+....i did windows update..install .NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 4..i check my hardware via device managerput didn't see anything....but in the BIOS what would i be looking for??..i'm still getting the error tho and i also got this

Similar problem here - I cannot even start Photoshop CS5 because of "application failed to initialize properly xc000001d" error. I had no problems with CS4. My processor is Athlon XP 2400+. I was waiting all the time for this version and it is broken

That's why we're looking for an Athlon XP to test, so we can find out which component is causing this. It could even be code designed to test for the presence of the instructions going bad -- we won't know until we can test it.

Sadly, I can't just call Dell/HP/Sony or run to Fry's to pick up one of these processors.

I have the same problem. I have an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ processor, Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I have installed, uninstalled and installed CS5 again and again and still get the 0xc000001d application error message. The program installs, but will not run or open. I have looked forward to this version of Photoshop and now I can't get it to open at all. I am not happy. :-( Adobe - PLEASE HELP!!!
